Spitfire MK24 V2 manual
Always choose a wide-open space for flying your plane. It is ideal for you to fly at a
sanctioned flying field. If you are not flying at an approved site, always avoid flying near
houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should also be careful to avoid flying in areas
where there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards, or soccer fields. Consult
laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft. After takeoff, gain some
altitude. Climb to a safe altitude and begin to trim the model till it’s tracks well through all
aspects of flight, including high speed passes, inv
erted flight, loops, and point rolls.
Land the model when you hear the motor pulsing (LVC) or if you notice a reduction in
power. If using a transmitter with a timer, set the timer so you have enough flight time to
make several landing approaches.
Repairs to the foam should be made with foam safe adhesives such as hot glue, foam
safe CA, and 5 min epoxy. When parts are not repairable, see the Spare Parts List for
ordering by item number.
Always check to make sure all screws on the aircraft are tightened. Pay special attention
to make sure the bullet of the ro
tor adaptor is firmly in place before every flight.
While applying power slowly steer to keep the model straight, the model should accelerate
quickly. As the model gains flight speed, you will want to climb at a steady and even rate.
The Spitfire will climb out at a nice angle of attack (AOA).

Maintenance
Recharge the battery and repair the model as needed. The model’s three point landing gear
allows the model to land on hard surfaces. Align model directly into the wind and fly down to
the ground. Fly the airplane down to the ground using 1/4-
1/3 throttle to keep enough energy
for proper flare. Before the model touches down, always fully decrease the throttle to avoid
damaging the propeller or other components. The key to a great landing is to manage the
power and elevator all the way to the ground and set down lightly on the main landing gear.
After a few flights you will find the model can be set down lightly on the mains and you can
hold the nose wheel off balancing the model on the mains till it slows and gently settles
t
he nose.
